It arises from the ectodermal (proctodeal) portion and extends forward, dorsal to the rectum (fig. 236). In some cases it degenerates in the adult. The limits of large and small intestine in the mammals are usually marked by an ileo-colic valve and a single caecum, but there are two cseca in some edentates, while some edentates, bats, carnivorous mammals and many whales lack either caecum or valve. The cascum is larger in the herbivorous forms and frequently.
